This Chinese University is Using AR to Issue Acceptance Letters

Receiving a letter of acceptance from a university or college is a milestone in a young adult's life -- to enhance this experience, The Northwestern Polytechnical University in China is issuing augmented reality acceptance letters.

Upon receiving the letter, potential students are invited to scan the QR code on WeChat, prompting the download of the university's accompanying AR app. Using the phone's camera, students applicants are able to see a "virtual model of the university, including information about its history and find out more about its aeronautical, astronautical and marine engineering fields — subjects which the school is famous for."

These augmented reality university acceptances have been sent out throughout China and stand as the world's first educational institution to issue documents using the technology. This AR experience utilizes the technology to show off the school's cutting-edge technology.
